Argument Against: Must Have Hour Recorder
In Response To: Heuer "Le Mans" ()

If ever there was a "use" where the hour recorder would have been essential, it would have been at Le Mans . . . hard to imagine that they would have "purpose-built" a watch for Le Mans without the hour recorder.

With this wild design, perhaps it was built for the Woodstock Festival? Oh no, that was in 1969?
